Post-conference Policy Action Note

2011 November 8

by IFPRI

A major objective of the "Unleashing Agriculture's Potential for Improved Health and Nutrition in Malawi" conference was to produce and share a Policy Action Note that identifies emerging opportunities and strategies to guide and inform key actors on how to create more synergies between agriculture, nutrition and health.

The Policy Action Note is the outcome of presentations and panel and table discussions on making linkages across sectors, building capacity, and investing in evidence-based and responsive research. The note aims to inform and motivate policymakers and planners in the agriculture, nutrition, and health sectors to coordinate and integrate their activities to help Malawi’s agriculture become more responsive and contribute to the nutritional and health status of the population.
